US Investigations Services, the background screener and security firm that vetted rogue contractor Edward Snowden for government work, has engaged crisis PR counsel as it faces legal and image fallout.

Thinkman2 (Nov. 12, 2013):It's more than a little fascinating, given the heavy duty PR trying to make Snowden a hero that we find folks from Europe and Britain having conducted the same kind of stuff that we do and have done, with such folks moistly ticked that intelligence done by all should get Snowden such status.....especially when neither he not his toadie Greenwald have uttered one single word, much less negative, about Mr Putin's operations. Principle has not been a prominent feature of the Snowden Snow Job.

Thinkman2 (Nov. 1, 2013):As some guy named Greenwald said recently as he toadies for Snowden, "the worst is yet to come". In this case alone "bulk sales" sells cheap and reaps the losses later. The "worst to come" will highlight folk like Booz Allen who helped spawn Snowden and others.

Joe Honick, GMA International Ltd (Nov. 1, 2013):Among the many questions that need to be explored are:

1. How did USIS get what seems to be a "corner" on the clearance market?
2. Who else besides USIS is competing for this profitable government business by proving they can work even faster and potentially sloppier?
3. What is the screening process for whatever the likes of USIS et al present to NSA?
4. What is NSA's control to keep the kind of stuff Snowden stole?
These are just a few questions no one seems interested in dealing with as the Russians are apparently prepping Snowden for some new work while his "PR" man Greenwald shifts into high ?
